There's not much to see here but some some internal information on the HTC Fiesta, a device reported to run Android, have leaked. The specs for this HTC 'Fiesta' are hardly worthy of a party:QVGA 240x320 displayNumeric keyboard (presumably no physical QWERTY)We don't expect as big a push for the HTC Fiesta as opposed to the HTC Hero or HTC Magic, those devices were obviously the higher end while...

Forgive us, but the Samsung Galaxy might be the most forgotten Android Phone around these parts. With quiet launches in a few European countries, the Samsung Galaxy has not received the same adoration as the HTC Hero, Sony XPERIA 'Rachael', or even any of Motorola's upcoming Android phones. It's not like we're purposely doing this, we love the hardware, but there's been absolutely no word on a...

We were decently impressed with the leaked product shots of the Verizon Motorola Sholes, one of Motorola's upcoming Android devices, especially considering it was such a large step up from the Motorola Morrison. But now with a supposed live shot of the Sholes, we've become a wee bit more guarded.The picture obviously doesn't come with the polish of the product shots but this Motorola Sholes...

If you were disappointed with the Motorola Morrison, you weren’t alone. We thought that Motorola’s purported first Android effort was targeted more for the messaging heavy customer base (read: teenage girls) than the traditional smartphone user (read: us). And coming from a company like Motorola, whose hardware design is typically top-notch, we couldn’t help but feel underwhelmed. Luckily, that’...

We had just reported on the Philips V808 Android Phone and were pretty excited to see what Philips would do with their first Android device. We now know that it carries nothing but disappointment because the Philips V808 runs China Mobile’s proprietary Android build, Ophone OS. The Ophone OS on the Philips V808 won’t have access to Android Market, instead applications will be downloaded via a...

Maybe the T-Mobile G2 Touch aka HTC Hero wasn't delayed after all. After rumors of a delayed August release date, it looks like T-Mobile UK will be able to push out the T-Mobile G2 Touch by the end of July.According to T-Mobile UK’s Twitter account, the T-Mobile G2 Touch will be available online starting today and in their brick and mortar stores over the next few days. This makes for great news...

We weren't aware that Philips had been meddling with Android but with Android's growth and popularity, it should come as no surprise. So reports have been surfacing that points the Philips V808, the phone pictured above, as Philips' first android device and it looks, okay.The Philips V808 is rumored to have a 3.2 inch HVGA display and 3.2 megapixel camera and video. We’re not sure if Philips...

If you've been keeping track of our 'Rachael' coverage, you should know that we're deeply, deeply in love with Sony Ericsson's rumored Android XPERIA Phone. We're in love with the design, we're in love with the wonderful UI, and now we get to fall in love with the specs. Expansys, the UK online electronics retailer, recently leaked the specifications on the much anticipated Sony Ericsson '...

HTC has long been Android's biggest supporter and with Windows Mobile stagnating, it makes a lot of sense for HTC to expand their Android portfolio and push out more HTC Android devices. So it comes to no one surprise when reports say that HTC will focus on more Android devices in 2010. What is surprising though, is the extent of that focus. Digitimes is reporting that 50% of HTC's 2010 product...

We've already seen the Motorola Morrison Android Phone before so this picture isn't exactly groundbreaking, but any news regarding Moto and Android basically excites us to no end so we had to pass on the news. Unlike the previous snapshot of the Morrison, this picture actually showcases Android being run on the phone. There's little doubt that this oddly color coordinated phone will run Android....

The HTC Click, HTC's purported low end Android phone, has been reportedly caught in pictures and it looks rather swell. Obviously, a low end, entry level type device won't win any design awards but if the pictures are real, we think that HTC did everything that's expected in such a device. The hardware buttons seem to be standard fare but the circular d-pad is an interesting new look, perhaps...

HTC has long been Android's biggest supporter--they're the only phone maker that offer two (soon to be three) dynamically different Android phones. With the T-Mobile G1 being the Android device best fit for keyboard enthusiasts, the T-Mobile myTouch 3G being the touchscreen experience device, and the upcoming HTC Hero being the most advanced in the bunch, the logical space left would be for a low...

This isn't the first time we've seen the Black Sony Ericsson 'Rachael' Android XPERIA Phone--it already looked oh so good in black, in white, and its UI is simply to die for. These new pictures just show the Black 'Rachael' in closer shots, higher resolution, and better detail.Obviously, these are just product shots designed to show the best angles of the device but we can't help but drool. We'...

Honestly, we're not sure how to take this tweet from Sony Ericsson North America. They're hinting at product launches today but remain purposely vague on what product announcement it'll be. We're hearing reports that Sony Ericsson will announce the XPERIA X2, X3, and X5 (what happened to X4?) but we really have no idea.What we are hoping for is official announcement on the Sony Ericssson Android...

DigiTimes is reporting that Acer's Android Phone, the A1, is going to be released in September of this year. According to their sources, Acer will be releasing 4 smartphones in the September timeframe but only the A1 will be running Android while the others will be WinMob devices.We're not sure if DigiTimes sources are rock solid but the Acer Android A1 Phone launching in September does seem to...

We've always been semi-interested in the Media Tablet space and our interest was obviously piqued when Archos was rumored to make an Android-powered tablet device. And though we haven't exactly heard about the tablet for some time, it's good to know that a September 15th launch for the Archos Android Media Tablet is looking more and more likely. The Tablet will run Android but will also include...

The interwebs were ablaze when The Guardian cited 'industry insiders' saying that Nokia, the world's largest phone manufacturer, was making an Android device to be introduced in September. The logic was understandable: though Nokia was the #1 phone manufacturer, they've been losing market share since smartphones have become more popular. Competitors like the iPhone, Blackberry, and Android have...

Sony Ericsson has been relatively quiet regarding their development of Android Phones but we've known for quite some time that they've planned to release a high-end Android device in 2009. Our previous thought was that they'll continue to use the beautiful XPERIA line to release their first Android effort and it looks like it may be true. Internal documents gathered by Mobil have pointed that...

We already knew that LG was planning to bring multiple Android Phones to the market but it's always nice to hear a reminder. LG's President of Mobile Business Ahn Seung-kwon recently stated that they plan to overtake Samsung and become the #2 cellphone manufacturer in the world by 2012 (we're assuming Nokia is #1). In order to do this they'll release phones for both Android and Windows Mobile, a...

There are some rumors floating around that Sprint is currently internally testing the HTC Hero. Sprint has so far avoided Android, even going as far as saying Android simply wasn't good enough yet, is the HTC Hero the first Android device that's 'good enough' in Sprint's eyes? It seems so.The even juicier rumor is that Sprint is also testing a Samsung Android CDMA/WiMax device. Details are...
